The multi-million dollar facelift is set to revitalise the area.

The reboot of Victoria Park is steaming as the State Government tips another $2 million into the growing Lathlain sports and leisure precinct with a grant from Lotterywest.

Member for Victoria Park and WA Treasurer Ben Wyatt handed the town council the grant yesterday to cover the creation of a new park and picnic area on the site formerly used as a bowls club.

The $70 million Lathlain Precinct redevelopment is a long-running scheme to breathe new life into the area.

The main component of the plan is the move by the West Coast Eagles to shift its headquarters to Lathlain Park, which is closer to the new football stadium at Burswood.

This latest area picked for redevelopment is across the road from Lathlain Park where the Eagles will train.

The Lotterywest funding will help build a playground, a nature park, toilets, pathways, shading and picnic benches.

Mr Wyatt said Carlisle had long had a shortage of spaces available for public use and it was pleasing to open areas for locals to enjoy.

“I think people for a long time have been frustrated that the land has stayed like this,” he said.

Mr Wyatt said that Victoria Park was very much an inner-city suburb so it was not possible to have large areas of land like the former bowls club going unused.

Victoria Park mayor Trevor Vaughan said that the park would “reactivate” what had long been unsightly and inaccessible spaces.

The Eagles say their new state-of-the-art Lathlain centre will be key to the club clawing its way back up the ladder in future seasons.

The club will boast two world-class ovals and will be home to the Wirrpanda Foundation, named after former champion backman David Wirrpanda, as well as a cafe, a basketball court, a sports medicine clinic and a museum.
